Martina Navratilova marries long-time girlfriend Julia Lemigova

On Monday, December 16th, Martina Navratilova married her long-time girlfriend Julia Lemigova, something the 58-year-old tennis legend had hardly thought she would have achieved as a gay woman. This is her first marriage and Navratilova jokingly commented that it was about time she got married.

Growing up as a gay woman, you just don’t ever think about that. And then about 10 years ago, I thought, ‘I think within 10 years gay marriage will be legal.’ And here we are, 10 years later.
